Sure, but the deletion is also mirrored to the other instances no?
EDIT: I suppose it should be alright if you mention in your privacy policy that if you interact with other instances their privacy policies apply as well.
Its not a guaranteed thing. As I understand it servers can simply choose to ignore the delete federation. I have never run a Lemmy server though, so take that with a tiny grain of salt.
Yeah, but companies can also “choose” to ignore GDPR requests. I don’t think talking about instances not following the spec and deleting things when requested is relevant.

it should
Under normal circumstances. But there could be federation issues, or someone could run a custom version that just ignores all deletion requests.
I’m unsure if that’s considered part of the diligence required in Europe.
Edit: does that even apply to public forums such as this? I have always treated it all as if it’s public forever.
